Thank you! Pinned your comment 🙂
Handy thank you!
Do you think you can do another similar video, but you picking out different orchestral combinations from preexisting compositions? Maybe movie scores that use different orchestral colors to help depict different environments or moods?
Great suggestion!
@@ZachHeyde Yes I would love to see this.
Me: decides to start working on an orchestral project
Zach, sensing a disturbance in the force: uploads this video
Learned bunch from this video! Have a good one!
Some seriously simple yet effective doubling tips here! Thanks Zach 🙌🏽🔥
Great tips! Love your channel, thank you!
I've been looking for a video like this! Straight to the point and chockfull of important stuff. The muted brass w/ flute really blew me away. Can't wait to try it out.
Nice! Thanks for making this type of knowledge accesible
Just found your channel and this type of content is super helpful! Thanks for making it.
Wonderful explained and very helpful and inspiring. Thank you very much!
Thank you for your great tutorial tips on doubling orchestral instruments! Bravo!
Brilliant video! Such a simple concept with huge outcomes! I’m so busy doing layers on layers that sometimes it’s best just to put 2 together. Thanks for the reminder.
Great lesson, thank you!
Great video. Thank you!
This was great! Have been planning on doing some spy and film noir music and some of these combinations will help accent the scenes and give tension to them. Thanks.
thanks for the wonderful examples 👍
Awesome video Zach. Thanks so much, getting some James Bond vibes at 6:30
Great information!!!
Very interesting and helpful. Thanks.
Great stuff here! Jazz snaps ❤️
Just awesome 😭 I feel like I’ve found some gold🔥
Following your video and setting it up on Vienna Ensemble Pro. Thank you very much.
So helpful. Very instructiv6.
Always fascinating to listen to the differences with the pairings that you come up with x some instruments I've never even heard of lol. I love the sound of French Horns with Tubular Bells I might set my door bell to that sound lol
you are so great! thanks
This hits my dopamine receptors in just the right way! I'm feeling motivated to do some orchestral music now. 😁
Great demonstration - something we can all benefit from working on. Somewhats doubtful about the low flute + muted trumpet though.
Beautiful video! So many wonderful pairings and sounds...
A question for you: what is the breathing mouthpiece that you're using and what does it do? I've never seen one of those before and don't know how to Google it!
Wow ...thanks for the info..great.
I really like that video thank you
Wow I didn’t know it actually call chimes I’ve always searched those kind of sounds with bell word and didn’t found the exact sound I’ve been looking for,thank for this little information 🙏😅😊
Excellent! Your videos always go to eleven.
Some beautiful textures here Zach - the alto flute + vibraphone and English horn + muted viola were my favourites. Very mysterious & colourful . Which woodwind libraries are you using for those?
Thanks Rich! I'm using Cinematic Studio Winds/Strings and TrueStrike perc :)
@@ZachHeyde Great to know, thanks! Have a wonderful Christmas/holiday season 🎄
Nice video for demoing instrument combinations. Thanks you.
I suppose there must be 10s of ways to do this and it all depends on which instruments/libraries/players are available to you. So I wish you could have opened one or two tracks to display the track, the player and instrument combination etc.
Also what is this blow controller you're using towards the end? Does it replace a keyboard? Why did you use it at that particular instant?
I would definitely buy your orchestration course 😉
Got some courses on the way... 👀
Hello Zach! Great video! i have a question... What Delay Offset do you put to your cinematic studio series instruments for shorts and longs?
I can't remember off the top of my head, but I believe around -260ms for legatos and -80 for articulations. But check the manual, they've got the exact numbers!
yoooo Zach please do a video on what vst plug ins you mostly use
My full gear list is now up on my site! 👍🏻

Please consider doing a video showing us how to use the breath control. I have one and I don’t know how to use it, especially as fast as you were going from instrument to instrument
Check out this video :)

Excellent video. I just have one question regarding the celesta doubling the flute : are they really playing the same octave, or is the celesta transposed on your keyboard like a real one and actually sounding an octave higher ? It's way I think I heard, but there's so much high harmonics in a celesta that I might be wrong ... That's why I would love a confirmation.
What is that breath controller? That's great!
Hi, Zach.
This is clearly a Logic Pro X newbie question, but how did you get the piano keys to show on the bottom of your screen?
Oh... And by the way.... This video is awesome!!!! I was just watching some of the Star Wars series, scratching my head, trying to figure out how John Williams made these great sound combinations, and up comes this video.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the kind words! The keyboard is a separate app called MIDIKeys :)
@@ZachHeyde Thank you, sir.
What is your breath controller? Tnx.
Hey Zach, what settings do you use for you buffer size on a larger template like this?
Usually 256, with every track disabled and purged until needed 👍🏻
Are you on a 16gb RAM machine or 32gb? I've tried this same approach and I'm not sure why sometimes I get CPU spikes. I don't know if it's because I'm using Kontakt 7 instead of 6. But I was curious how you got your template to work this quickly and smooth.
I'm on a 64gb RAM Mac Pro, with 20 cores, so it's super powerful! Often it just comes down to what your machine can handle.
@@ZachHeyde so even with a super power machine, you're concerned of saving resources?
@@ZachHeyde would it be possible if you could do a video on setting up an orchestral template for the rather average composer who may not have such a powerful machine? I'd be curious to have that perspective.
Most CZcamsrs share their template setups with countless tracks, instrument libraries, and fx plugins but almost all of them are running super spec'd out machines. Some of us can't afford those super power resources, so it would be very helpful to know of other options to still have a larger template but not use as many of the resources for someone on newer machine but with specs 16GB or 32GB RAM and maybe slower CPU.
Pizz strings doubled w short flutes immediate sounds like Tchaikovsky.
At the French Horn + Orchestral Chime example you said the timpani would too high for it, but I thought Timpani was a low instrument, specially since it has different possible sizes?
He was saying that the music written for French Horn would be too high for the Timpani, not the other way round. He just said it quickly in a lazy-English-speaker kind of way which all us native English speakers do, lol.
@@beethockmtee8565 I see, thank you for clarifying. My first language is not English so I didn't understand. Now I do :)
@@ChizFreak happy to help! :)
❤great ideas Muted Tpt. & Flt. 8Va also used by Quincy Jones?
How is it that Vienna Symphonic Library can do a complete work for their website and possibly not worry about monetising? Is that the case at your address? Cheers, Peter
Love your work and energy!!
How did you change all of the snare notes to a C at 5:02?
That's a video edit, but there's a "Fixed Pitch" tool in Transform you can use that'll do that 👍🏻
3:15 Christmassy
how strange, i already use doubling techqniques and combos even before i bumped in to this video.
Timestamp?
